Revisionist Westerns pack a punch, especially when shorn of everything non-elemental. Terror on the Prairie packs one hell of a punch, simultaneously elemental (Gina Carano plays a totally traditional wife and mother.) and revisionist (She’s also an ultra badass.). Plus, she’s smarter than the …

Gina Carano cleans up well.

The Spaghetti Western trilogy begins with a ruthless and intricate film in “Dollars”. Clint Eastwood shows even in his first film performance that he was destined to own the Western genre, and Leone’s hallmarks (starkly beautiful vistas, memorable Morricone score) are all present. A fantastic d… |

Desperado is about a story where El Mariachi came back to town to avenge the death of his girlfriend. Some of the best gunplay ever seen in this movie. The Action is Ultra cool and entertaining. |

This is one seriously funny film, and still liable to shock and amuse in equal measure. The racist angle is well handled, and the spoofs, non-sequieteurs and general surrealism of “Blazing Saddles” make it as unmissable as a comedy classic should be. |

This epic TV miniseries follows ex Texas Rangers (Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones) as they steal horses in Mexico then get involved in a cattle drive to Montana in the 1880’s. A little Kitschy at times, but endearing to watch the pair banter back and forth and perform their manly cowboy roles. …

Gritty, dirty, muddy, bloody, cold, miserable… just some of the words you can use to describe trapper life in the 1800’s. Leonardo DeCaprio does a stellar job representing the will to survive surrounded by a standout cast of Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleeson, and Will Poulter. You’ll definitely ge… |

Django Unchained is an absurdly good movie that goes where few filmmakers dare tread, and succeeds so completely that only Tarantino could pull it off. What he’s pulled off is a Tarantinic take on the first of the two racial decimations to occur in the heart of Western Civilization, three year…

I love the Mask of Zorro as it is very original and exciting with its sword fights and romantic hero confrontations with the beautiful Elena. The best swashbuckling movie. The best way to bring the western genre back to life. |

Legend of Zorro is definitely a good swashbuckling movie for the whole family. It has a good storyline and performance. I love the train scene and the spy scene at the house which was very interesting. |
